Just watched his presentation and went back to Mahalo.com and found out that crappy pages are still being generated. Moreover, number of crap pages being generated have increased this week so i really think nothing has changed about Mahalo.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d483570ccd1d5c3171a0000JasonTue, 01 Feb 2011 11:31:43 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d483570ccd1d5c3171a0000

Oy vey!
You've pointed out the exact reason we pivoted a year ago to video and Q&A-based learning. All the large scale content sites, from About to eHow, have the same issue: having normal folks write about expert content results in sub-par learning.
In this case, we're looking at a long article that got published two years ago because we didn't require expertise. This is the thing that made me crazy, and why video is so powerful.
ehow's article has a similar "tell you nothing" in 500 words or less problem:

We now have 500+ music videos and we make 50-75 new music videos a week.
Take a look at:
mahalo.com/how-to-play-guitar-chords/
mahalo.com/how-to-play-guitar-for-newbies/
www.youtube.com/howtoplayguitar2
www.youtube.com/mahalopiano
... to see where we are going with music instruction.
We did 900 videos last week and we'll hit 2,500 a week this year. In a year you won't be able to find anything like this on Mahalo.
Now i have to go find a xylophone player for Carney's kid.... like I don't have enough to do! Ugh. :-)
seriously, give me a week.... i will have 10 killer videos up. :-)http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d48259a49e2ae7677210000ChewierTue, 01 Feb 2011 10:24:10 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4d48259a49e2ae7677210000
This is a pretty good set of instructions, although I would have added:
If you have a xylophone store closely, consult with a xylophone specialist about xylophone varieties, since there are many kinds of xylophones, like black xylophones, white, xylophones, wood xylophones and xylophones that can Justin Beiber knows how to play.

What were you expecting? He's a washed up journalist who got lucky covering the NY tech scene over a decade ago. He's no longer relevant to the tech industry and is milking all the coverage he can get until this stupid business finally goes under. The only news value in covering this tool is we get to watch this inevitable train wreck in slow motion.
